Philip walked to the door. Albert kept urging him along, which annoyed Philip. Clementine gritted her teeth, helped Grandpa up, and followed them. This lab was not safe. She would probably be trapped if she remained here. Soon, Philip followed Albert to a training ground where they usually trained. Philip subconsciously used a camouflage pill to modify his appearance. Although he looked somewhat similar to his original appearance, there were subtle differences in other areas. Most of the people training here wore the same uniform with the word ‘guard’ on their chests. Philip was surprised to find himself in the thieves’ den. However, he could feel that these people were not that strong and not that difficult to deal with. Clementine staggered over with Grandpa in tow and saw this scene. She backed away in fright and found a room to hide in. With so many guards around, Philip would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion if he rushed in. A fierce battle would inevitably
Philip knew that this guy was no good, so there was no need to waste time with him. Albert patted his chest. “If you can beat me, I’ll introduce you to Mr. Tate, and we’ll flourish under his command. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?” Albert said smugly. He had always envied others for having underlings, but no matter how he tried to please those people, no one was willing to follow him. Now that a family member was here, there was an extra layer of kinship binding them compared to others. Although Albert was upset with Philip, there was no problem in taking advantage of him. His objective was simply to show Philip how strong he was. Philip laughed. This guy was ignorant and idiotic, shameless to the extreme just to show off his strength. He believed that even if Albert was fully prepared, it would never occur to him that Philip had far surpassed him. Philip would teach him a good lesson and dig all of Mr. Tate’s information out of him. “Cut the crap and start fightin
“How strong are you?” Albert finally thought of checking Philip’s strength, but he could not tell no matter how hard he tried. “None of your business.” Philip took a step forward, which seemed like a small movement. However, he had crossed half the room and arrived in front of Albert. Albert trembled in fright at this sight. He did not expect Philip to be so good! “What level are you?” Albert felt a little nervous. In his opinion, Philip must be much higher than him! “Tell me how to contact Mr. Tate. Who is he exactly?” Philip knew that his move was enough to scare the brainless Albert shitless. Indeed, Albert stood dumbfounded, at a loss for how to answer Philip's question. He had thought that he could kill Philip instantly. At that time, he could put on an aloof pretense as if he pitied Philip and wanted to spare his life. “Impossible, you can’t be that powerful. You’re nothing but a loser! Over the years, I tried so hard to please those people and I only re
Maybe Philip could find something if he read Albert’s memory before he died, but it was too late now. Albert was too guarded, and Philip did not have enough time to make a move on him. Philip was disappointed that he failed to get any information about Mr. Tate. Philip glanced at Albert helplessly as his body became colder by the second. He finally recalled Albert. He was the youngest son of Winx Larson, someone from a branch of the Larson family! Philip used to play with this guy when he was a kid. His IQ was not good enough, but he insisted on studying strategies. His EQ was not good enough, but he insisted on socializing with the elites. Even though the Larson family had reached the top thanks to the Clarke family, he still wanted to carve his own future. Living under Philip’s brilliance made him breathless. In fact, Albert was no less than a gifted genius, but Philip’s strong brilliance turned him into a stone that could hold no candle to a shining diamond.
Philip did not answer the man’s question but waited to see what would happen. “Why aren't you saying anything? Have you taken the potion I gave you?” The man in a suit was not angry but asked with great concern instead. Philip felt that something was off. This man obviously had a pretty high status in this lab, so why was he not annoyed by Albert’s indifference? The man in the suit looked at Philip for a while before he got up and approached him. Philip immediately went on high alert, which the man noticed. “Are you still blaming me?” He walked over and held Philip's hand. Philip almost jumped. Why was this pervert holding his hand? In hindsight, since the other party did not notice his impersonation, Philip quelled his discomfort and stood on the spot looking at the man. “I really can't save the members of the Larson family. The higher-ups gave you three years, but you still failed to convince them. In addition to the recent strict security in place, it’s diffi
“Do you admit that you've been hurting me?” Philip mocked thoughtfully. This man’s psyche was not that good. He spilled the beans after being frightened a little. “I, Sydney, will never admit that!” The man glared at Philip, knowing that his plan had been exposed. He reached out to touch Philip's face. Philip was prepared for it this time. There was no way he would allow this pervert to touch him again! He dodged Sydney's touch with disgust written all over his face. “Since you know everything, I might as well tell you. We were planning to use you to deal with Philip, the unparalleled genius of the Clarke family. We want you to die in his hands so that we can gain the allegiance of the Larson family. "As for how we operate in the dark, it has nothing to do with you. All you have to do is find him and let him kill you. You should go to the prison and spend your remaining time with your family,” Sydney issued the order coldly. “Sydney Tate!” Philip yelled in anger. Sydn
“Y-You’re amazing. How do you know I like it this way?” Reading Sydney’s X-rated thoughts, Philip wished he could give him a good beating. “Go to hell, you creep!” Without wasting any more time on this pervert, Philip decided to read his memory and retrieve all his information. Sydney finally realized the person in front of him was not Albert when his body went limp. However, this man looked exactly like Albert, which puzzled Sydney. Despite that, there was no way Sydney could learn the truth now. After Philip read his memory, Sydney became mentally handicapped. “Damn it, that's so disgusting.” Philip wiped his hands in disgust. He never dreamed that another man would come on to him one day. It was simply surreal. As Philip wiped his hands, he discovered several key issues in Sydney’s memory fragments. When energy was revived, a batch of new forces named Kronos was formed. Various unknown small factions and families joined Kronos. These small forces delibera
Philip did not expect that Kronos would grow to become so huge. In the early days, they had recruited many small-scale forces. After three years, these small families had probably turned into large families. Philip was peeved. He might have exposed himself too soon. Sydney was in charge of the research here, and Philip learned the storage location of a lot of information through his memory. He hurried to various places and destroyed all this information. It was better not to keep such harmful things! Philip returned to the training grounds. Albert did not lie to him on his deathbed, so Philip decided to keep his promise and collect his body. No matter what, he was a member of the Larson family. Philip bumped into his grandfather and Clementine at the door. Grandpa had just woken up, and his fragile body had been healed. “Grandpa, go clean yourself up over there and put on these clothes.” Philip found a set of clothes and handed them to his grandfather. Alex to
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
